Overview
- CHP and Oakland police carried out a coordinated stop on the Bay Bridge’s eastbound lower deck during a large dirt-bike ride.
- Officers briefly shut all eastbound lanes, then let two lanes reopen as the operation continued.
- CHP said the group had been “creating havoc” while crossing from San Francisco to Oakland.
- Many riders ditched their bikes and ran, and police arrested two people as 50 to 60 bikes and ATVs were impounded.
- Eastbound backups lingered into the evening, with an ABC7 camera showing stalled cars and Google Maps sending drivers to the Richmond Bridge.
